MN down Iowa to pick up 66 in Missouri west of St. Louis.

Thanks for the advice I’ll get the spares at Napa.

If you are going to buy the hose why not put them on before you leave. That way you won't need to make repairs at the side of the road or in the dark. I see that you have thermostats in both top hoses. You could buy new thermostats also if you want to be completely covered. Maybe you could carry 5 gallons of water too. If your 34 has not been having any over heating problems I doubt that you will have any trouble.
